Making choices in Denver’s school board election

In the Denver School Board election for District 4, we are fortunate to have a wealth of candidates who are passionate about education. They are willing to serve the community and to give their time to bettering our schools.

Unfortunately, The Denver Post chose not to make an endorsement. How irresponsible of the editorial staff of The Post to let this pass. Two supposed negative factors were ill placed: 1. Is it really a failing that someone had a home foreclosed on? Look at your own paper and read the statistics; this isn’t uncommon or a lack of character. 2. What’s wrong with having the support of the teachers union? I for one think that what teachers have to say is an important factor in my child’s education.

This election is important. I encourage everyone to take time to review the candidates’ websites and talk to your neighbors.

Beth McBride, Denver
